I read like a boomer liao. Paper far away but not too far

Also I asked my wife about this. She says this CFO is known professionally for being a strict no nonsense rafidah aziz type. Which makes it shocking also that she could fall for this or heck even orchestrate this

Note. She doesn't know her personally only professionally (her reputation that is) as banks are a major client for tax advisory services kek

Not really, I had an interview with her in 2018 for the post of Cyber Sec Lead before. Doesn’t seem much between the ears, like a political appointee or someone’s mistress type. She was even late for the interview that she changed time twice. I wanted to leave but her PA asked me to stay (quite hot awek). Long story short, I rejected the offer of 12k and a BMW 5 series.

Kind of sus. Just a call and zoom then can transfer? Even Sdn Bhd need to get the checker and maker to approve before transaction can go through.

This is not normal transfer. Ada udang behind rock.

This weekend’s edition of The Edge Malaysia featured a startling case of executive impersonation and fraud — revealed in the context of the ongoing Industrial Court dispute between Maybank Malaysia and its former CFO. The allegations emerged following her departure from the bank after an internal inquiry.

The impersonation scam showcases the increasingly sophisticated tactics used by fraudsters — including coordinated messages from multiple impersonated individuals and possibly a deepfake Zoom video call.

A brief chronology of the events alleged in the papers before the Industrial Court:

𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟰 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰, 𝟳.𝟰𝟳𝗮𝗺: The CFO received a message on her personal phone (and not her work phone) from an unknown Malaysian number.

The sender purported to be Alvin Lee, CEO of Maybank Singapore. The Lee impersonator requested her to make a payment from Maybank Malaysia on behalf of Maybank Singapore. This would be a transfer of approximately US$985,000 (RM4.77 million) to a Hong Kong entity via JP Morgan.

𝟭𝟮.𝟱𝟯𝗽𝗺: She attended a Zoom call with the Lee impersonator. She said that the Zoom call lasted for five minutes and she said there was nothing unusual about the person's demeanour or body language on the Zoom call.

Subsequently, she received on her personal phone WhatsApp messages from another unknown number, purporting to be Maybank Malaysia's President and Group CEO. This second impersonator supported the Lee impersonator's request for Maybank Malaysia to make the transfer of the US$985,000.

She arranged for the transfer to be effected. JP Morgan had held back the onward payment for an extended period. This was a red flag to the CFO that something was amiss.

𝟵.𝟮𝟲𝗽𝗺: Now, she contacted the real Alvin Lee on his official phone to ask about the messages. She realised the deception and instructed a cancellation of the transfer.

𝟭𝟬.𝟬𝟴𝗽𝗺: JP Morgan confirmed that it had successfully held back the transaction. No financial loss occurred.

That was indeed a narrow escape. But demonstrates the multi-layered tactics of fraudsters, and how senior C-suite executives may be targeted.

Arising from those background events, Maybank issued a show cause letter to her and carried out an inquiry on the actions and the standard of reporting she took after the events. All of that is now pending determination before the Industrial Court.

I thought no way ai can fake it until I saw this. And take note this video using 2022 abandoned software now the 2025 versions even more power

Ignoring the uncanny valley effect mannerisms hard to fake. Especially if they have a working relationship for some time. You speak to your co worker you know for some time way different from a person you deal with formally for a few times

A simple how the kids doing can kantoi a scammer.

But then again the scammer might have started the call by saying sorry I'm in quite a rush so here is the gist of it. Any issues? None OK pls approve while I head off to my next meeting

But serious why never mesaged him ASAP on his personal number kek

thats weird

12k and driving a bmw 5 series....

doesnt seem to match. chinaman company general manyzer earning 20k also driving jepunis sedan only

tech like this , even kevin mitnick also shake head. social engineering at its best

besides the CFO

I think the scammer has balls and enough information to talk to her
I guess the scammer are working closely or inside the bank industry as well

Pakai zoom? Tot use M/S Teams in MBB? CFO pon tak erti basic CyberSec protocol? Pakai home laptop-ke? Summore whatsapp..

if CFO like this can fall this kind of scam. she deserved to be demoted or put on PIP

Makcik nasi lemak, SOP pun tak tau, bodoh. She didn't bother to email him via work nor contact him via work at all till the transfer initiated. Real bodoh. You HQ CFO, takut Branch CEO buat apa?

you should come to menara maybank see their fleet at the lobby

plot twist , what if someone set her up...
